Ch. 198 Slaughtering the Newbie Village at Max Level
🕑 Added 2023-12-09 16:01:01 +0000 UTCIf there's something more embarrassing than being caught while peeping, it's definitely having the thought to peep but getting caught before acting on it.
Even though they had been living together for several years, when Russell saw the disapproving look in Diana's eyes, he still felt a twinge of embarrassment.
However, he quickly shrugged off that embarrassment. After all, she was his wife, and getting caught was not a big deal.
Under Diana's gaze, Russell, who was hovering in the air, slowly descended, landing lightly in front of her like a falling leaf.
"It seems like you had quite a harvest this time," Diana said softly as she looked at Russell.
"It was alright," Russell modestly replied.
Although his expression and tone were humble, Diana could easily discern his true thoughts.
"You're clearly happy, no need to act so composed," Diana chuckled.
"It's better to be modest, especially in front of your beloved," Russell couldn't forget the night when Diana had beaten him up. Although he hadn't basked in the sun at that time, being suppressed to that extent by Diana had exceeded his expectations.
He had thought that even if he wasn't Diana's match temporarily, the difference between them wouldn't be too great, at most just some disparities in experience and skills.
However, Diana had proven with facts that the gap between them was comprehensive. It wasn't a battle; it was a complete and utter domination, akin to a max-level character slaughtering newbies in a village.
"Smooth talker!" Diana chided him playfully.
Normally, Diana had a commanding and mature demeanor, so Russell was a bit surprised to see her in this light-hearted manner.
Her expression left Russell momentarily stunned.
Seeing Russell's expression, Diana continued, "Let's continue this conversation at the restaurant."
"Sure," Russell quickly agreed.
Before he had even landed, he had attracted the attention of many pedestrians. Now, even more daring pedestrians had gathered nearby, taking out their phones and snapping pictures of them.
Russell and Diana were a well-known couple, with their relationship having been reported in entertainment magazines and newspapers long ago.
Not only that, these magazines and newspapers had attempted to investigate Diana's identity in detail.
However, all they had discovered was Diana's ordinary civilian identity that she used for disguise.
Although Diana and S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have the best relationship, after she had demonstrated her abilities a bit, S.H.I.E.L.D. intuitively prepared a flawless genuine identity for her.
Originally, Diana had intended to handle this matter herself, but when Nick Fury appeared before her with the prepared identity documents, she changed her mind.
Why not take advantage of a good opportunity?
Since S.H.I.E.L.D. had already prepared everything, Diana didn't bother doing it herself.
Thanks to the genuine identity prepared by S.H.I.E.L.D., those entertainment magazines and newspapers never discovered Diana's true identity and thought of her as a beautiful foreign immigrant.
Once Russell and Diana arrived at the street, the Porsche that had departed from the Octopus Monster headquarters soon pulled up in front of them, and the car door opened automatically.
Shortly afterward, they arrived at the family restaurant that No. 3 had reserved for them.
Although Russell didn't give specific instructions, No. 3 thoughtfully arranged a family restaurant that was more suitable for private conversations.
After arriving at the family restaurant, a waitress led them to a private dining room.After arriving at the family restaurant, a waitress led them to a private dining room.
After placing their order, Russell didn't ask the waitress to stay and serve them. He gave the pretty waitress a tip and asked her to leave the room.
Once the waitress left the room, Russell picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
Authentic tea!
Diana also picked up her tea cup and took a sip before looking at Russell with her large, enchanting eyes. She spoke softly, "Your awakened new abilities, they're more than just Kara's Kryptonian physiology, right?"
Diana might not be entirely clear about what had happened to Russell, but she could tell that the Russell who had been sleeping cocooned in the "chrysalis" for a week was different from before.
"Strictly speaking, it's still Kryptonian physiology."
"It's just that I awakened multiple new abilities, so there's been a fusion reaction between the newly awakened abilities and my previous ones."
Russell couldn't reveal the existence of the system to Diana, so he provided a simplified explanation that Diana could easily understand.
"Fusion? Did it fuse with your previous extraordinary physiology?" Diana quickly grasped the key point, even though Russell possessed several extraordinary abilities.
"Yes, because they're all related to my physiology, there was a fusion reaction between my Kryptonian physiology and my previous extraordinary physiology."
"While there's been a fusion, it's still similar to Kryptonian physiology, but it's been strengthened on the foundation of Kryptonian physiology."
Although the "The Marvelous Superman" was an evolution reward, it only added divine powers compared to Kryptonian Heritage.
While Russell didn't yet understand how to use these divine powers, he wasn't worried about it. Just because he didn't understand divine powers didn't mean Diana didn't.
"I sense divine powers in you, is that a result of the fusion after awakening?" Diana continued to inquire.
"I already had divine powers when I first gained extraordinary physiology."
"However, at that time, my divine powers were too weak, so weak that I couldn't even use them, which is why they didn't manifest."
"After this fusion, my weak divine powers have been greatly strengthened, but I still haven't figured out how to use them."
Russell honestly confessed.
Although Diana didn't know about the system's existence, she knew that Russell had gained extraordinary physiology after they started dating.
So, she quickly made some connections.
Seeing Diana's expression suddenly become somewhat strange, Russell quickly said, "It's not what you're thinking. I had weak divine powers when I first gained extraordinary physiology, but they were so weak that I couldn't use them."
